i've been on diazepam for a about 2months now, i noticed smaller doses eases up things but it makes things seem apathetic, like a calm, but apathy, feel like i need to drink coffee to get out of valium slump

anyone else experience this?

diazepam effects gaba a - for some reason i don't like the effects of diazepam, seems like lorazepam or alpralam would be better, diazepam sometimes makes me feel apathic

I was on diazepam for two months while I was tapering benzos. It was definitely more sedating than the other benzos I'd tried -- lorazepam and alprazolam. Because of this, and because of its long half-life, it wasn't as difficult to taper as lorazepam. But I wouldn't have wanted to feel that sedated indefinitely.
